I will agree that he's the best for the Super Eagles simply because of the support and the respect he receives from the NFF. Would the NFF accord similar treatment to an indigenous coach? Not a chance!

Yes, some ICs have been accused of egunje and the likes but did we bother to ask ourselves why they resort to such underhanded means? Isn't that simply because they are trying to survive?? The NFF is in habit of owing ICs 6 months or more salary. So how do you expect these men to feed their families I would like for the NFF to pay our ICs coaches their salaries on time (as they do with these foreign coaches) and give them freehand to select players, then let's see if our local coaches are not good enough.

What Rohr needs is a very good assistant. I wish we had drafted Amunike to his coaching staff. Get a great assistant and leave the tactical side of the game to them.
That's how Fergie always moved with time till he decided to retire. Carlos Quieroz was responsible for the tactical side i.e training and all while Fergie handled the management side.
Get Rohr a good assistant and I wouldn't mind him staying till 2022 and beyond sef

Earthquake2:
He's the best we have have in a long time, a huge chunk of the team was discovered and nurtured by him

We are where we are because of him, don't be ungrateful

Earthquake2:
Can you name a foreign coach that is so interested in developing another country's players that he travels for his players and helps them with their contracts

Earthquake2:
Rohr's greatest skills is not his tactics but his man management

I saw Balogun putting in flying tackles yesterday and I wondered when last Super Eagles played with such passion and commitment

That's when I see people advocating for Rohr's sack I just hiss and pass

klexycole:
Great!

What do you think about Rohr's performance so far?

darkelf:
We won today and I am glad.

Kudos to the defence for keeping things tight at their own end.

Kudos also to Onuachu for the early goal. It really unsettled the Egyptians Gameplan.

Although I wish we won by a larger margin but a win is a win.

Onuachu must not become complacent. Nacho may just awake from his slumber.

Shehu need s to be tried in the DMF position but I fear for his passing. One bad pass and it could spell doom for us.

klexycole:
Thanks boss. How was the first half?

tbaba1234:
Why does shehu not cross? We have a big target in the middle.

We need to try Maja out too with the U23s.

Okereke to join super eagles for Egypt friendly.

Sainty92:
Libya Bleep up. I wanted to see bafana bafana tears tonight.
Anyway, they are easy for us to beat incase we meet at the Afcon

Bolowolowo:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is an example of a 21st century, modernized footballing stadium built by Tottenham. It just broke ground today. The fact that a nation abound with oil wealth cannot build anything near this caliber is beyond me.

Icon4s:
Tanzania playing the traditional Nigerian way.
The way we played before Rohr came.

Up Amuneke!

Danielnino00:
Most African countries have only one standard stadium they use for their national team and they maintain them well... I dunno why the NFF can't stick to one stadium for major super eagles games...From Lagos to Abuja to Calabar to Uyo and now Asaba with unnecessary stop by in Kaduna and Kano... its affecting the team...
My problem with that Asaba stadium isn't exactly the pitch size but the state of the grass... I'm confused as to why it has remained that way....what specie of grass is it that they can't trim it low?

Icon4s:
Yes. Next Olympics is for players born not before 1st January 1997. So any player born any time in 1997 or after is elligible.

You don unearth one player for us?

BascoVanVeli:
Can a player born in 27 January 1997 play in the olympics?

We want to keep bringing Super Eagles to Asaba – Okowa

Friday, March 22, 2019 5:05 am


Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State

Tonobok Okowa, the Chairman of Delta Sports Commission, says the state will be delighted to continuously have the Super Eagles play their matches in Asaba.

Okowa told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Asaba that the team’s handlers seemed comfortable with the Delta capital city’s hosting capabilities and facilities.

“The state government has not influenced it in any way.

“The choice of Asaba by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) may be out of the fact that the state has successfully hosted other international matches and that the facilities are good.

“The state government has not really done any form of pushing to continue to host the matches in Asaba, but if the state has the option, it will grab it.

“We want to keep bringing them (the Eagles) back because we want to always put the stadium into use and our people love to have them here,’’ he said.

The Delta sports official pointed out that Asaba was well situated and bordered by states such as Edo, Anambra and several others.

“I guess the NFF loves what we have here and the first time we ever hosted an event for them was the Aiteo Cup.

“I am sure they (NFF) loved the turnout of people and the crowd was overwhelming. This may be why they are coming back.

“The city’s location is strategic and I know that they will always want to use this place and we will be obliged to be giving it to them at all times,” he said.

Okowa assured that every arrangement to successfully host the three international matches slated for Friday and next week at the Keshi Stadium had been concluded.

He added that they expected to have a surge of spectators.

“Here, we are talking about two international matches between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Seychelles coming up on Friday, the Super Eagles’ friendly with Egypt and the Nigeria Under-23 team’s fixture against Libya next week.

“We want people to come out and cheer them, but we guess we will have a surge. However, we have put mechanism in place to control the crowd and the traffic will be put under check throughout the period of the match.

“We have a good security architecture in place to manage the situation,” he said.

Yes am talk of playing area; visit this link for more information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_stadium_categories. This is Estadio Camp Nou pitch or playing area measurement, 105 m × 68 m (115 yd × 74 yd) while that of Stamford Bridge Field is 103 x 67 metres (112.6 x 73.2 yards)

Icon4s:
Even seems as if the lad is regressing.

cc12:
Standard pitches aren't of the same size but have a minimum measurement to be rated as a standard pitch, for example Stamford Bridge's pitch and that of Estadio Camp Nou aren't of the same size or measurement

Icon4s:
The camera positioning made it appear small.

TheGoodJoe:
Iheanacho should soak in the words of Rohr and use it to propel himself. Learning is a big part of development.

When I read the remark of Nacho being funny during training sessions by Rohr, I remembered the incident of Nacho locking the Manchester City players when a training session was about to begin.

I so laughed and remembered Nacho jumping and laughing. It was so funny but I never thought that coaches might find it a sign of unseriousness.

With Rohr pointing it out, I think Nacho should cut it off and remain serious during sessions. He does not need to create an impression of an unserious person to Brendan Rodgers.

TheGoodJoe:
As for Uzoho, I do not want to see such dross again, if not I will say my mind.

Icon4s:
The pitch is not small. It is of the standard size. The problem is the poor camera positioning by the Super Sports crew.

gamaliel9:
If our u23 plays in this Asaba pitch we may lose...The size of the pitch will help the Libyan to be compact....and the state of the turf will be against us.....either way,we are in hot soup

gustav25:
But , but ...we can host the Afcon

Starboytwo:
I'm particularly angry about the issue of stadia in the country....it irks me always when we host matches on "cattle ranchs and call it stadium... Many countries in Africa have a few standard stadiums, big capacities etc we don't even have a 80 or 70 cap in the country, I think Abuja should be 60 or so while Lagos is about 45,uyo 30 I guess and others, way below. Can't say the same for southie or North Africa...


I still ask when are we gonna host the nation's cup, funny how we have never bidded or be in reckoning as a potential Hosting countries of late, simple. We currently lack the infrastructure, which is quite shameful, our two biggest stadiums don't even work...

Sometimes or many times self I just Tire for naija... Didn't watch the match, but everyone is complaining bout the pitch, some even questioning why a football match should be played there... A must win u23 match is also billed to be played on the farm... I hail us for this country..... A football mad nation without stadiums...

We shouldn't criticise the player,the pitch was shitty
